Anti Snoring

Snoring can be an affliction that affects not just the individual who suffers with the problem, but also those people who live with and sleep next to the person in question.

Snoring in excess is otherwise known as the condition ‘sleep apnoea’. When left untreated, sleep aponea has the potential to seriously impact on the health and happiness of the people involved.

The continued tendency for an individual to snore reduces their level of sleep and increases the risk of hypertension, heart disease and stroke, as well as contributing to an increasing level of fatigue and irritability.

While treatments in sleep disorders are a matter of some health specialists particular expertise, there exist a number of ways in which to effectively treat the issue by oral means.

When snoring occurs as a result of the lower jaw becoming relaxed, the associated physical contributions to the ‘noise’ occur from the throats air passage becoming reduced in size, causing the membranes within the throat to vibrate erratically.

Over time this continual vibration can result in the irritation of the membrane. This causes swelling and therefore further reduces the air passage.

Essentially, the treatment of snoring through dental care can be achieved by simple application of an oral appliance. This prevents the jaw from
moving backwards during sleep.

At Dr Andrew Baderski’s Dental Practice we can provide you with a custom fit
night time appliance that allows you the opportunity for increased levels of sleep
and a subsequent ability to awaken refreshed and full of life!
